0851ist (0321utc) VU2DBM 59++

Monitor's QRN Note:

I was surprised to hear VU2DBM on 7055kHz in place of  our local frequency of 7070kHz.But later in his QSO with VU2OWB,he informed due to a QRM on 7070kHz ,he had to QSY to 7055kHz.In fact,he mentioned it several times during his QSOs with others on 7070kHz lsb about noise on 7070kHz he was experiencing.Today early in the morning I had not found any type QRN/QRM on 7070kHz lsb but after 0851ist(0321utc), there was noise on 7070kHz  and same type of noise on 7165-7175kHz & again on 7115-7120kHz.And in my area, a certain type of noise can be audible in the morning every day on 7065kHz which prevents me listening to morning Delhi HF Net.

With Best Wishes
